Great property in a great location!

We loved our stay in this Cape Charles home. Very updated, close to everything in town, short walk to the beach, wonderful older neighborhood with lots of trees, and great fenced backyard. The outdoor shower was amazing. I cooked, and the kitchen was very easy to work in.. Everything I needed was there. The beds were very comfortable as was the big sofa in the living room. Having a screened in porch was so nice. My husband drank his coffee out there each morning. We walk to most places in town. We loved Brown Dog Ice Cream and all the small shops. The bakery was wonderful. Breakfast at the Cape Charles Coffee Shop was yummy! We hope to come again and stay longer!

The property was perfect for our group of three couples. Our family had a great time being so close to the beach and 'into town'. A great place to stay and will stay here again when we come back to Cape Charles.

Great location, nice porch, everything you need.

We really enjoyed our stay. The location is awesome. The beach is just across the road. The beds are comfortable. The house has a nice fenced in back yard. The outdoor shower is very nice. Only hitch for us was the coffee maker carafe was broken when we arrived so we had to go out to get coffee all week. Excellent house all around, would definitely recommend.

Great house, great location

We've spent several summers at Sand Castle — both before and after the renovation a couple years ago. The renovation was really well done, and made an already great house even better. The hosts are very kind and easy to work with. We hope to stay again next year!

Front Porch Sitting

We had a short but delightful visit. Undoubtedly, the highlight of the property was its front porch. The updated kitchen and bathrooms added modern charm, while the open floor plan was perfect for social gatherings and cooking. We had a great time playing cornhole in the fenced backyard, and the outdoor shower made clean-up easy. And best of all, the beach was just steps away.

Great Beach Week

Our second stay in Cape Charles at Sandcastle. Even better than the first! We had perfect beach weather, no rain, hot, humid, & warm bay water. We enjoyed cooking on the grill in the backyard, & especially liked the outdoor shower after a day on the beach. Thanks, Bobby & Voe, we will be back!

Twice as nice!

We liked our stay at the Sandcastle so much that we grabbed a last minute opening for a second trip this summer! Our second stay did not disappoint! In fact, in the month between our stays, the owners even upgraded a few things! It was hot when we were in town and the proximity to the beach couldn’t be beat! We again enjoyed the breezes on the front porch and relaxing showers in the outdoor shower! Looking forward to our next trip!!!

Perfect!

Our stay at the Sandcastle was, in a word, perfect! We’ve stayed in many houses in Cape Charles over the years and this was one of our favorites!!! The house itself was newly updated, with all of the amenities you need for a week at the beach. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well-stocked, and having three bathrooms is a huge bonus. The house is larger than it seems in the photos, allowing for plenty of space for us to spread out! Our favorite part of the house was the screened-in front porch - we enjoyed nearly every meal at the big table and loved spending our rainy afternoons there! The location of the house could not be any better - it’s less than a minute to the beach and a short walk to town and the park. We actually could hear the Saturday summer concert from the porch! We just returned home and we are already checking our calendar to book a stay for next year!
